Crypto shuffling, gripes and power up!

Rejected!

Well, it was bound to happen but I didn’t think it would start so early! My oldest daughter (almost 7) and I have been seeing posters for the 2nd Incredibles movie all over the place and she has been pretty keen to watch it. To tell the truth, so have […]

Mmmmmm… Roast lamb! (Ulog #19)

I afraid I’m just too tired today to write an in depth post about anything… I have written a few replies to comments, but I think I’m just going to zone out and play a bit of Deus Ex (streaming from @msearles) after writing this quick post! One of the […]

Curating Music History: Last movement from Brahms Violin Concerto

The Violin concerto of Brahms (1833-1897) is one of the masterpieces of the Violin repertoire, a pillar of the Romantic era of composition.

The purpose of this app is for the Cindicator bot to take our collective predictions and to integrate it with their own AI predictions to get a sense for the signals […]

Curating Music History: Finale from 4th Symphony (Tchaikovsky)

The Russian composer Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) is perhaps one of the most recognisable names from the Romantic period of music. Best known for his ballet music such as The Nutcracker and Swan Lake, his music is instantly recognisable by the general public even if the exact names or provenance isn’t. During […]

Steemit Basic Income Giveaway (Superpower)

Phew! Thanks for the responses to last week’s Steemi Basic Income Giveaway! I had lots of interesting responses and conversations from lots of different perspectives! I was struggling (in a good way) to keep up with the amount of informed and intelligent replies, so thanks again! However, I think that […]

At the […]
